Primm Labs' DNA kit. The maxi-prep kit has given me consistently good
yields. The quality is acceptable - I routinely do an ethanol
precipitation on the final product, both to concentrate it a little bit
(the final volume otherwise is about 2 ml; that's okay if you're using a
high-yield plasmid, where you'll end up with around 1 mg, but with a
low-copy plasmid and particularly the expression vectors I've been using
you're looking at a total of maybe 250 - 500 ug DNA) and also to clean it
up a little more.
I've no doubt there are other kits that are just as good, but Primm labs
has an arrangement with our Central Stores, so I just have to walk
downstairs to get new kits.
No affiliation.
